I'm with you on this, Matty. I was hoping Reggie would grab Watkins, but the more I see of Mack, the more I feel like Reggie made the best choice he could make. Even if Watkins was still available, I'd still be happy with this pick. Let's hope Reggie's mojo holds through the rest of the Draft.

The Oakland Raiders need to Draft Wide receiver Sammy Watkins (from Clemson) with the number 5 pick. Don't make a trade with the 49ers so they can get the number 5 pick!!!I can't state this ENOUGH!!! Sammy Watkins will be the NEXT Tim Brown...Lets Do IT!! Don't trade the #5 pick away!!

A long time ago in a Draft far, far away we passed up Calvin Johnson for JaMarcus Russell. We can't make that same mistake again. I agree. Sammy Watkins is the one to get. We have our QB, but he needs a star receiver to throw to. I feel like Watkins is that guy.

So we sit at the #5 pick....I think we can all agree we need to draft someone at that spot who is a playmaker and can step in immediately. If either Clowney, Watkins or Mack is there - grab him. If not, I am not opposed to trading back. Love to grab Aaron Donald, DT/Pitt or Mike Evans WR/Texas A&M and recoup another 2nd Rounder.

TP wants out - perhaps we could get back our 5th (wasted on Flynn) or 6th back from the Schaub trade.

I am not opposed to making a run at DeSean Jackson either if the price is right. Sure he's a diva but so are most WRs in the NFL. At least he doesn't piss hot on drug tests and/or get arrested.

I agree with everything you said about the draft. I'm leaning towards Watkins myself...Clowney scares me a little.

I'm personally glad we didn't get Jackson, another head case we don't need....he will fit in great in Washington!!!

After the picks, he spends minutes raking through the best and worst drafts from the previous day. In that time, it's a fair assumption that he's listed the Oakland Raiders on the "bad" side of the dual-headed list far more often than any other team.

Based on Day 2 of the 2013 NFL Draft, he put the Raiders in the "good" column, praising the team for taking offensive tackle Menelik Watson in the second round and outside linebacker Sio Moore in the third round.

"...Lo and behold, the Oakland Raiders draft cornerback D.J. Hayden after all. Hayden jumped into headlines as a target by the Raiders earlier this week. Even with DTs Sharrif Floyd and Star Lotulelei falling to 12, GM Reggie McKenzie opted for the corner.

McKenzie stated he was after “the surest of the sure”. Hayden will immediately jump into the starting lineup, where newly signed CBs Tracy Porter and Mike Jenkins will battle it out for the other spot. The Raiders now own a young and potent defensive backfield with the addition of Hayden. Set to play Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers twice a year, the addition will surely help raise the team’s 20th ranked pass defense.

Mostly knocked for his lack of tackling skills, scouts and onlookers at Hayden’s Pro-Day were “awed” by his performance..."

FUCK YEEEEEAH! A trade, thank you! BTW every RAIDER FAN who was watching the draft at our pick saw Raider Greg in his Allen jersey & Raider Randy in his Silver& Black! Love you guys! Now just drinking & waiting for our pick from Miami!

Perfect scenario in my mind is that the Browns do trade up we gettheir first ( which is 6th) we get their second and possibly fifth. Tghat away we fill out needed rounds as well as we possibly still get Sharrif Floyd since i dont think 4 and 5 would take him
